Spice: 🌶

Whilst this isn't the best book I've ever read, I do really enjoy the storyline. It is a very easy read.

Pros:
  • I enjoyed learning more about vivs past. TW, it does include talking about sexual assault she went through as a minor
  • I liked how viv didn't give into grim straight away (even if she wanted too)
  • The characters in the book are written fairly well, especially with the gods back-stories. They aren't overexplained
  • Another mystery to follow through this book
  • We had a bit more romance between the two main characters 

Cons
  • A lot of the jokes were repeated from the first book
  • For me, some of the modern references were far to cringey.
  • Even though I loved the main characters, during scenes that were emotional for them, I didn't quite feel that emotion
  • The 'oh no shit is going down let me save the day with a kiss' was annoying personally
